Gaza, MINA – The Government Media Office in Gaza announced Monday that the death toll of journalists killed since the start of Israel’s ongoing military campaign has climbed to 246, following the killing of Palestinian journalist Hassan Douhan.
Douhan, a reporter for Al-Hayat Al-Jadida, was shot and killed by Israeli forces in the Mawasi Khan Younis area of southern Gaza, according to the statement.
The media office condemned what it called systematic and deliberate targeting of journalists, urging the International Federation of Journalists, the Arab Journalists Union, and other global press bodies to denounce these crimes.
The statement also held Israel, along with the US, UK, Germany, and France, fully responsible for what it described as grave violations of international law.
